The church made no official action. What you saw in action was influence working against an action that was extremely unpopular due to the involvement of a convicted heretic.
So because the used influence instead of action they did not make them do anything? Is that not the whole point of having influence so that you can make realms or people do things without actually needing to do any work.
Also I was not really looking for the excuse as to why it was done. Simply how it was not considered making a realm do something.
